Lake Powell’s delightful right now

The boss took our entire utah.com office to Lake Powell last week. We stayed on a houseboat and had a great time. The weather was perfect – warm (but not hot) days, cool nights, water warm enough for skiing and other water sports.

There was even a beautiful almost-full moon. Slower fishing was the only down side – the full moon allowed stripers and bass to feed all night and so they weren’t hungry when we went after them.The weather should be warm enough for water play for a couple more weeks. As the lake cools fishing will improve and boating conditions will continue to be good. Fall is a great time to boat, explore, hike and sight see at the big lake.
